A copy of the announcement here : https://github.com/EFForg/https-everywhere/discussions/20060

As announced here, we will be phasing out our rulesets in favor of DuckDuckGo Smarter Encryption List that we have in an update channel.

The phases are as listed

  • DuckDuckGo Update Channel with Smarter Encryption Rulesets [April 15, 2021].
  • Still accept HTTPS Everywhere Ruleset changes in Github Repo until the end of May, 2021.
  • Still host HTTPS Everywhere Rulesets until various partners and downstream channels that use our current rulesets, make needed changes and decisions.
  • Sunset HTTPS Everywhere Rulesets [Late 2021]

We will still accept requests on rulesets already in our list that are causing significant breakage for users through the summer. However in autumn, we will begin the plan to ultimately move our crowdsourced rulesets out of the extension.

Thank you again to all of our maintainers who diligently have been working on HTTPS Everywhere rulesets all these years.
